ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland - October 1, 2008 - Camouflage Software Inc. officially announced today the appointment of Kevin Duggan as the company’s Chief Executive Officer.
Camouflage Software Inc. is a privately-held, Newfoundland and Labrador company established in 2007. Camouflage Software began as the flagship product of Plato Group Inc. – a technical and business consulting company founded in 1997. In 2004, Plato diversified into software development with the release of its flagship product, Camouflage – an enterprise-wide data masking solution. Plato Group Inc. was officially renamed Camouflage Software Inc. in 2007 and a separate company; Plato Consulting Inc. was created for the consulting side of the original business.
“Time and time again Kevin has demonstrated the key qualities of a true leader,” says Camouflage president Kevin Fleming. “He’s a straight shooter. Kevin is not only talented at identifying what has to be done; he is extremely effective at executing his plans – a critical quality within such a small, rapidly growing business. Kevin has earned the admiration and respect of everyone at Camouflage Software Inc. We are very lucky to have such an accomplished and respectable businessman at the head and heart of the company.”
“I am so proud of this company,” exclaims Duggan. “Camouflage has only been an independent entity for just over one year and already, due to the hard work and dedication of all owners and employees, we’ve already accomplished so much. This is a very exciting time to be a new business within the privacy and security industry. The need for data masking software is growing at an exponential rate as data breeches and identity thefts become serious threats to entire industries all over the world. With such a quality software product and loyal team of employees, I am very excited to lead Camouflage into a long and prosperous future.”
Kevin has a Bachelor of Commerce Honours degree and a Master of Business Administration (MBA), complemented by over 20 years of experience in information technology, human resources and project management. Prior to starting Plato Group, Kevin held a variety of human resource management positions in the telecommunications and information technology industry, from technical software development and business process reengineering through to project management.
